The term "freelancer" typically refers to a self-employed person who has no long-term employment contracts or commitments. While "independent contractor" might be the appropriate box to check when filing taxes, a freelancer is the more commonly accepted term. Simply put, a freelancer sells labor to clients or employers on a short-term basis. The freelancer may be paid on a per-hour, per-day or per-job basis, or any other arrangement that the freelancer and client can agree on.

Freelancers are "now". Present, not future :)

IT engineering: What is It?
Information technologies are omnipresent, yet IT engineering remains a mystery to many. To most people, an IT engineer is a wizard behind the screen who makes sure computers work smoothly. To an extent, they might be right, but there is much more to the vocation than just installing a firewall and updating the OS.

Engage IT engineers anywhere anytime.

And it is important to differentiate between career paths here, because the sector is so prolific and ever-changing, that knowing what exactly to expect from it is the key to becoming a happy IT engineer.

Firstly, IT engineers may either specialize in software development or computer hardware engineering. The first includes computer programming and smartphone apps, and the latter – designing physical products.
IT engineers may expect high salaries and good job prospects. After all, the vocation is in high demand and the market is expanding so rapidly that even better opportunities are to follow. As a matter of fact, the demand for IT engineers has increased by 22% from 2012. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, software development jobs were expected to rise 17% from 2014-2024 – way faster than average.

Hardware engineers earn $84,600 to $135,840 per annum, depending on their skill set. Applications software developers earn $102,160, on average, and systems software developers – $108,760 per annum. Job offers are diverse and abundant, both in public and private sectors. Software developers often work remotely, which allows them to keep to their lifestyle and work from pretty much anywhere in the world.

This is important to keep in mind. Online outsourcing is a rising trend, so if you'd like to turn freelance or work for an international company, the job might prove a good match. Hardware engineering is another matter entirely, and especially in large companies. Hardware engineers make sure that networks operate properly and that every employee does the job without interruptions.

Finally, there are network engineers. They work with computer networks – intranets and extranets, and typically need to be familiar with different network types (LANs, WANs, WLANs, VoIP, etc.).

What about downsides? Every job has some, and IT engineering is by no means an exception. Due to the specific job requirements, IT engineers might be required to work overtime whenever the need arises. Recent research has shown that, on average, IT engineers work approximately 25% more than 40 hours weekly. Work environment might be stressful, especially in large companies where there are many employees. Finally, to aim high, software developers and leading programmer positions may call for an advanced degree.

Freelance doesn't suppose the "fulltime" mode at all. Freelance is about working at any time you prefer. Most often it could mean up to 5 hours per day, but this is truly a condenced work, and it's really about working, no huge coffee breaks or disputes with no sense.

The most unpredictable side of it is that there could be no free weekends in their meaning, 'cause a freelancer should be up to work when there is a job. However a vacation could be aligned at any comfortable time, and working freelance, you definitely have more time for yourself, if you adjust the working mode properly.

Free lancing can be a part time job at the beginning. Later on as you get more out of it,can slowly move in to a full time method.

It rather depends. As older you are getting, as less time you'd like to spend working for an uncle, as less motivation you have getting up at 7 AM each morning, and ending at 7 PM ;) Аll work and nо рlау makes Jack а dull boy.

I couldn't say for everybody, but I am personally not a full-time freelancer. Usually I work from 2 to 5 hours per day - depends on the task's novelty and significance, as well on my state of health.

Could you mention websites where did you post your profile?

I suppose, the measure of your importance depends on your years of experience, the tasks you completed, and specially on how others rated your work - so you must collect some reviews or sort of other kind of response from your customers.
